Free Inventor Kit

Instantly download a Free Invention Manual! It’s perfect for Startups and Inventors to get an end-to-end understanding of how to take an invention idea from Sketch on a Napkin to Store Shelves. It is an accumulation of 20 years of taking consumer product clients from Idea to Store Shelves, so it is certainly worth a good read. With love, from the MAKO Design + Invent team.
